The climate system of the Third Pole region, including the (TP) and its surroundings, is
highly sensitive to global warming. Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are understood to …

Salt Lakes, having a salt concentration higher than that of seawater and hosting unique
extremophiles, are predominantly located in drought-prone zones worldwide, accumulating …

Land surface albedo plays a crucial role in the land surface energy budget and climate. This
paper identified the spatiotemporal variations of surface albedo on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP), also called the Third Pole, is considered to be “the world
water tower”. The northwestern TP (NWTP), which has an average elevation higher than …

Precipitation changes over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) substantially impact the downstream
river runoff. However, future precipitation variation over the TP remains unclear. Here, we …

Precipitation is affected by intricate atmospheric dynamic and thermodynamic processes.
Horizontal winds are frequently used to represent the dynamic component as winds play a …

Abstract The Regional Climate Model Version 4 (RegCM4) with the conventional plane‐
parallel radiative transfer scheme severely overestimates the summer precipitation over the …

Precipitation is one of the most important input to hydrological models, although obtaining
sufficient precipitation observations and accurate precipitation estimates in High Mountain …

Abstract High Mountain Asia (HMA) is the headwater area for major Asian rivers, providing a
vast amount of freshwater to billions of people in Asia. These rivers also make their …

Abstract The Yarlung Tsangbo Grand Canyon (YGC), one of the world's deepest canyons, is
located within the East Himalayas, which are remote and poorly instrumented. In this study …
